Heads up on the WPT with Grinder and Scotty Nguyen. A back to back appearance by both on a WPT final table, the only time this has happened so far and boy are these good friends enjoying themselves. I first met Michael in LA in 2005 and enjoyed a great meal out. This was just before he won the LA Classic and his meteoric rise to No.1 player in the world on the Card Player rankings. After winning the Classic he bought a mobile home piled in his partner and mother in law and took to the tournament circuit.

It is no mean feat getting to be the number one rated poker player in the world. I first met Michael by chance at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles in 2005 when my then wife and I ran into him in the hotel lobby. She had known Michael and his brother many years ago in South Florida. That evening we had a fantastic meal and I remember poker pro Phil Ivey calling on his cell to see if Michael was interested in a few rounds of golf at 50k a hole the next day...

In 2006 Michael "The Grinder" was voted the number one player in the world by Card Player magazine.
